I did a fairly extensive revision of (the other) Andrew's Quick
reference last month. I need to put the references back on the
swiki, but the revised versions (I split it into 2 parts) are at
http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~black/ecoop2001/Squeak%20Language%20Ref.html
http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~black/ecoop2001/Squeak%20Classes%20Ref.html
Actually, I have now uploaded these to the Swiki. (Who do I write to
to remove the versions that I accidentally attached to the
NewbieHomePage?) I'm in the process of finding the references to the
quick reference and updating those too)
The other useful reference book that I still use occasionally is
"Inside SMalltalk" by Lalonde and Pugh. Volume 1 (blue) is a
very comprehensive reference to the basic Smalltalk class library
(collections, streams, etc). It refers to VisualWOrks, but most of
this stuff is the same in Squeak. Volume 2 is a very comprehensive
reference to a version of the VisualWorks UI classes and was out of
date almost as soon as it hit the bookstores. It's not much use for
Squeak.
